Yevlov and Yerentina waited for a long time, and at this point, the last troops returned. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two of them went to meet him in person, only to see the guy wearing a strange hat and riding a big horse, strolling over.

"It's weird! My deputy division commander is now a steppe cavalryman! It's funny, it reminds me of twenty years ago. Yevlov teased.

Yang Mingzhi also bowed his back with interest and saluted with a smile. "This is a gift from Volmansky."

The soldiers quickly lined up after getting off the carriage, and Yang Mingzhi stood at the head of the team after getting off the horse, kicking and stepping in style, standing in front of Yevlov. "Report to the division commander, the second regiment has been assembled, please instruct."

"Take a break! Disband! The serious Yevlov immediately grinned. Now the fighters can go back to their barracks to rest. And you, let's go to the division headquarters and sit down. ”

"yes, okay." After that, Yang Mingzhi glanced at Yelenkina, and the woman seemed unhappy. "Huh? My comrade commissar, why do you have a stiff face? ”

"Berekov, I don't think it's right for you to drink with your subordinates and get drunk!"

Not good! What should have come is still coming. Yang Mingzhi immediately sold a smile and coaxed this woman. "Don't take it as an example! Let's not take it as an example, okay! Seriously, you see me and my men all the way to Lechtsa and beheaded their Nazi representatives, which is a great achievement. I'm so sorry I didn't resist the temptation to drink more. ”

"You have self-knowledge, it's good to know that you're wrong." The woman's serious expression also relaxed, "It is a tradition for us Russians to like to drink, but as commanders, you must always be sober. If the Messenger delivers an urgent order and you are drunk, it will be a disaster. Finally, Yerentina turned her head, "Come on, come with us." ”

Yang Mingzhi nodded, turned to the two girls, and said. "You two go back first and sort out the housekeeping."

Carambola naturally nodded, and Natasha, she simply went straight to her brother.

When it comes to drinking, Yerenkina is too lazy to care. Because they are a group of big men, in her opinion, not letting them drink is almost killing them. To press in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? You have to drink it!

At this moment, the division headquarters is still clean, and no new objects have been added to the tidy room. Inside the house, Fumin was already here, and Berekov, who was simply dressed in a new dress, couldn't help but shine in the eyes.

Yevlov picked up the kettle and poured four cups of hot water, one of which slid directly in front of Yang Mingzhi. All four of them were seated, and it looked like they were going to have some kind of formal meeting.

"Now the battle is completely over." Yevlov said straight to the point, "In this battle, we have achieved a brilliant victory!" ”

"That's right, so let's start talking about the results now?" Yang Mingzhi asked curiously.

"Actually, I can wait, but I can't bear it."

Yevlov had a lot of words in his heart, and he took out a pamphlet, which was written about the harvest of this battle.

"Berekov, you're back now. I'll read you what we've done. First, the prisoners of war of our army were not the 4,000 people reported in the report, but more than 2,600 people were actually rescued. Second, we captured nearly 200 German prisoners of war, nearly 50 of whom were medical non-combatants. Thirdly, I don't know about your losses, but as far as the results are concerned, our army has lost more than 600 people in this battle, and unfortunately some seriously wounded have also died. Fourth, we also rescued some ordinary people, but. Yevlov couldn't help but look at Yerentina.

"Alas! I don't really define them as fascist prostitutes! They were all coerced! Yerenkina immediately pleaded.

Yevlov turned his head: "That's it, we also captured a batch of food and ammunition." This is what our army is now accomplishing. ”

"It's a big win, isn't it?! Our men lost a hundred men, assisted by the local guerrillas in the assault on Lechicha, so the total loss was almost two hundred. But the results achieved, the enemy suffered more losses. On this return, we brought back the wounded left by Roshakov in the village of Black Soil, as well as those of our department, and even ten wounded partisans of the Lechtsa partisans. In this battle, our army also paid the price of more than 1,000 casualties. ”

"That's right, the enemy lost more." "As for the results of the battle, the commander of the front has vigorously commended us. It's just that this is a verbal commendation, and the results have been reported to the leaders, and we really don't get anything at the moment. The reason is in the letter I have already written. ”

The four people sitting in the room couldn't help but lead the topic to the current situation of the troops.

Judging by the performance, the situation of the three large collective farms in the whole marshland is very good. A small number of sporadic inhabitants still enter the swamp every day, and they will first be interrogated by Yerentina's people, identified and then assigned.

Here, communism has almost been realized, rationing is fully implemented, more work is more, and if you don't work, you will really starve to death. Outside the swamp, there are Nazis everywhere, they are man-eating devils. People are selfish, but in the face of absolute danger, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and no one is lazy. Because they know that it's all about keeping themselves and their friends alive.

The elderly kept their jobs as seamstresses, sewing and mending clothes for the warriors, and even making hats and gloves out of animal leather. All the children were recruited into the junior soldiers, and in addition to learning military skills, they also had to study cultural classes.

As for the younger children, their daily food needs are very small, and it is not realistic to put them into work. These people are directly supervised and educated in temporary kindergartens.

In the current situation, the apparent peace made Yevlov very worried, and he simply slapped the table angrily.

"If there is no airdrop of supplies, what can we do with 20,000 people? The most important ammunition, counting on us to reload with shells, how can we withstand the possible encirclement and suppression of the enemy! Is the front command too reassuring to us. After all, swamps are not feng shui treasures, and if we wait until spring and a large number of refugees come in, we will not have enough fields to grow potatoes and feed tens of thousands of people. ”

"Comrade division commander, the entire front army is in great difficulty right now, and you don't have to doubt their intentions so much. We are not outcasts! Yerentina rebuked.

"Okay, okay, let's discuss the status quo, you two don't quarrel." Yang Mingzhi waved his hand and was a good man. In fact, he also knew that Yevlov, as a division commander, was under tremendous pressure. If the 20,000 people in the swamp had problems in their lives, he, the division commander, would be to blame.

Yevlov immediately regarded Yang Mingzhi as a lifesaver, and said slowly: "Berekov, you are really a genius, you have long thought of the situation in front of us. Now, because of your previous strong request, we have at least a lot of potatoes, some mushrooms and vegetables, and even a lot of fish. The catch was frozen, and it was impossible for it to rot. With the current population, our food problem does not exist at the moment. (To be continued.) )
